How to Take Black Walnut Hull Medicinally

Black walnut hull is often taken medicinally to cleanse the body of parasites. Historically, Asians as well as Native American tribes have used black walnut hull to rid the body of a variety of worms. When used medicinally, black walnut hulls are ground into a powder to be used as a supplement. However, today you can find them in capsule form. Besides ridding the body of parasites, black walnut has been used to treat diarrhea, female disorders, sore throat and lung disease. It is believed to aid digestion and aid in healing sores in the mouth or throat.
